Hill confirmed he had been told not to look at the latter part of the footage from the event because of what it might trigger.

'I embarrassed myself'

Earlier today, the court heard Hill describe making a mistake at an airshow display in Southport in 2014 which required him to carry out an escape manoeuvre.

He had been carrying out a Canadian Break manoeuvre which involved a 270 degree roll in a jet provost, when Hill said: "I had one of those nasty dawning moments that for whatever reason I was going to be too close to the crowd line."

He decided to carry out an escape manoeuvre, which involved continuing with the manoeuvre - but increasing the rate of the roll.

He said "At the time I judged I would sacrifice some of the safety height in order to minimize my distance towards the crowd line."

Hill added: "I think I did that about as successfully as I could, give the situation I had got myself into."

A stop call came in and he returned to the base.

Back at the hotel, Hill said he had a 10 minute conversation with an inspector from the Civil Aviation Authority and later spoke to the Flying Control Committee about what had happened.

Hill said he acknowledged he had made a mistake and said he had 'embarrassed himself'.

He said: "I was as open and honest about it as I could be."

Hill said he flew in the display again the next day, though he removed this manoeuvre from his plans, and said it went 'very well'.

Display at Shoreham in 2014

Mr Khalil then asked him about taking part in the airshow in Shoreham in 2014.

Mr Khalil said concerns had been raised that he had flown over a corner of the demarcated no fly zone over Lancing College.

Hill said he had originally intended to turn to the east of the college, but decided instead to fly to the west.

When he saw a video of the flight he thought it looked 'strange' and as though he had flown 'very close' to the college.

But after analysis he said it was 'very easily' ascertained that he was a 'long way' from the college.
